Gloria Hanson Wright first noticed Amos L. Wright in their high school orchestra and was immediately smitten. “I thought, ‘That’s the one for me,’” she recalled.

Rebecca Phillips, one of the couple’s daughters, said her parents’ love for God is evident in the way they treat each other, adding that they continue to pray together each night. “It’s pretty humbling to watch them do that still, and to know that they’ve done that for 80 years together is pretty incredible.”
